Look at your SSO config - it should be setup as OAuth Bearer. You can either send all the time, or based on a 401 response, and you can send a passthrough from the OAuth IdP, or create a new JWT.

I'd be inclined to set it to create a new JWT and see whether it sends the JWT based on server response. If so, there is probably an issue with the OAuth IdP JWT ( ie maybe it is opaque rather than JWT ) so do some logging around this and dig into it.

Hi

 

Sorry I wasn't clear I send the JWT on every request - one of the request failed some logic in the code on the back and and the return was a 401. at that point APM invalidate the SSO session and blanked out the JWT and all furthor requests failed not authorised.

 

I don't want the f5 to act on the 401 sent by the back end server
